Outback Venus



mirror mirror
on the wall
hanging there
so blue and tall
you know my secrets
every one
as i struggle out of the bath
with a soap bubbled bum

it comes as a surprise
your glass has not cracked
from the vision of  an outback venus
arising arthritic wet and wacked

  7. Well, the mirror itself is very beautiful,lol. (And seriously, some of us do not even have baths any more because we'd never be able to climb out again at all; it's showers forever after.)

  8. I am sorry the bath did no good. I can't understand why mirrors are so large in bathrooms now as I have seen enough of me over the years I don't want to see more.
